1. Introduction to FDM R430 1.1
Overview FDM application is an asset management system that supports client/server architecture. The application provides an environment that enables you to configure commission and maintain smart field devices. It supports configuration of device parameters and methods execution for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART), Foundation Fieldbus (FF), and PROFIBUS devices. For HART, it supports protocol version 5.x, 6.x and 7.x. It also supports device configuration using Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) based configuration screens and FDT-DTM. PROFIBUS device and FF device support is provided only using FDT-DTM (Field Device Tool-Device Type Manager). It also helps in diagnosing field devices. FDM supports FF Device DTMs to read, display and write all the commissioned devices connected to Fieldbus Interface Module in Experion. It also supports Fisher ValveLink DTM to perform maintenance operations and to view diagnostic data for FF Fisher Valves. With FDM R430, FDM is enhanced for the following: •
Support for HART 7 protocol
•
FDM integration with Safety Manager through Universal Safe Modules to maintain HART devices connected to safety systems
•
FDT Comm Console to manage networks and devices integrated in FDM through FDT Communication and Gateway DTMs

Supported technologies FDM supports the following technologies to configure, commission, and maintain field devices.
Device description files (DDs and EDDs) HART devices are capable of providing functions and features, far beyond the basic task of providing a process input or accepting a control output to manipulate process conditions. HART device vendors create a Device Description (DD) or (EDD) for every device that describes the functions and features specific to that device. The DD and EDD also contain information essential for the successful configuration and calibration of the device. FDM uses original unmodified device vendor DDs and EDDs, to provide full configuration and setup for all HCF registered HART devices. Ensure that you use the latest DD and EDD for a particular device type and revision. DDs or EDDs are available from the device vendors. Unlike other configuration tools, FDM does not require custom DD and EDD to be developed for the tool itself. It supports all the unmodified DDs and EDDs of the devices, as registered with the HART Communication Foundation (HCF). ATTENTION FDM supports all devices that have their DDs registered with the HCF.
Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language) is a clear, structured text description that specifically describes field device data to host systems. It is an enhancement over DD language. It constructs the defined presentation of device information by the host applications and document hosts to store the data on behalf of the device. Using EDDL constructs, DD writers can define the user interface rules that the host application need to adhere to while displaying the user interface for that device. It also has constructs like charts, graphs and so on that provides enhanced user experience. FDM supports HART device configuration through EDDL based DDs.

Methods Execution Methods are predefined sequence of steps that can be executed by a Host. The device vendors develop these methods and supply them as a part of the device DD file/EDD file or device DTM of the devices. Some examples of methods are: •
Commanding the device to complete a calibration operation.
•
Commanding an advanced diagnostic test procedure.
•
Executing tests to gather information on device operation.
FDM supports: •
Method execution through DD/EDD file or device DTM for HART protocol.
•
Method execution through device DTM for FF protocol.
•
Method execution through device DTM for PROFIBUS protocol.
FDT-DTM FDM supports the Field Device Tool (FDT)-Device Type Manager (DTM) technology to configure HART, FF, and PROFIBUS devices. Field Device Tool: A standard interface defined by the FDT group for integration with field devices. It is used by the host applications like FDM to integrate with the devices and provide the configuration and maintenance capabilities. Any host application, which implements the FDT-DTM technology is referred to as FDT Frame. It has the following three primary functions. •
Interfacing with the Device DTM for device configuration.
•
Interfacing with the Gateway and Communication DTMs to communicate with devices.
•
Managing the DTM Catalog.
Device Type Manager: This is analogous to a device driver that is developed by device vendors for a particular device type. DTM enables usage of devices in all the asset management and device configuration software like FDM, with the help of the FDTDTM technology. •
The DTM has the following primary functions.
•
Provides a Graphic User Interface for device configuration.

•
It allows browsing the complete network and configuring to work with a different type of network.
•
It has its own UI, which allows configuring the communication device for proper communication with network.
•
It has its own installations, which take care of registering the DTMs.
Gateway DTM: The Gateway DTM is the software that represents a gateway device. It has the following features. •
It uses the communication DTMs or other communication drivers for communicating with the devices. Any requests from the devices connected to the Gateway are sent to the Gateway DTM, which is then sent to the Communication DTMs.
•
It has its own UI, which allows configuring the Gateway device for proper communication with network.
•
It has its own installations, which take care of registering the DTMs.
For example, HART-on-PROFIBUS Gateway DTM represents the HART-onPROFIBUS Gateway device that is used for connecting the HART devices on the PROFIBUS networks.

ATTENTION PROFIBUS devices can be configured in FDM only through DTMs. FDM does not support configuration of PROFIBUS devices through DD/EDD.
HART protocol In a typical process control environment, field devices such as pressure, level, and temperature transmitters and valve positioners provide the physical connection to the process. These devices allow the control system to monitor and manipulate process conditions. Smart field devices, such as HART devices, maintain a database of process configuration, identification, and diagnostic information in memory. These devices use the HART digital protocol (governed and maintained by the HART Communication Foundation) to communicate with the control and asset management system. The HART Communication Foundation (HCF) has a membership of over 150 vendors (including Honeywell), offering over 500 different HART devices. HART is an open smart field device protocol available for use by all member companies. For more details about HART and HCF, visit the web site at: http://www.hartcomm.org/. FDM supports HART devices conforming to HART 5.x, 6.x and 7.x (wired) versions of the HART protocol.
Foundation Fieldbus protocol Foundation Fieldbus is an enabling technology for dynamically integrating dedicated field devices with digitally based control systems. It defines how all smart field devices are to communicate with other devices in the control network. The technology is based upon the International Standards Organization's Open System Interconnection (OSI) model for layered communications.Foundation Fieldbus is a sophisticated, objectoriented protocol that uses multiple messaging formats and allows a controller to recognize a rich set of configuration and parameter information (device description) from devices that have been plugged into the bus. Foundation Fieldbus even allows a device to transmit parameters relating to the estimated reliability of a particular piece of data. Foundation Fieldbus uses a scheduler to guarantee the delivery of messages, so issues of determinism and repeatability are solidly addressed (determinism means knowing absolute worst-case response times with 100% certainty). Each segment of the network contains one scheduler. For more details about FF, visit the web site at: www.fieldbus.org.

PROFIBUS protocol PROFIBUS is a powerful and versatile two-wire digital fieldbus system. It is mainly used in the field level with interfacing capabilities downward towards the sensor/actuator level and upwards towards the production and enterprise levels. PROFIBUS devices connected in the PROFIBUS network gives diagnostic information about the health of the devices and the measured values, along with the values themselves. This information is helpful for better maintenance and thus reducing downtime. PROFIBUS is used in Process automation, Factory automation, Motion control and so on. FDM supports configuration and collection of diagnostics of PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP devices using the FDT-DTM technology. FDM hosts device, communication, and gateway DTMs provided by the PROFIBUS device vendors. You can configure and perform maintenance activities on PROFIBUS devices in the field using these DTMs. PROFIBUS International has over 1200 members worldwide which includes many field device vendors. For more details about PROFIBUS and PROFIBUS International, visit the web site at: www.profibus.com Multi Master Configuration PROFIBUS Masters are classified on a high level into the following two types.
30
•
Master which supports cyclic data communication (DPV0) is normally referred to as Class1 Masters. The Class-1 master (DPM1) is the central control unit of a system, for example, a PLC that exchanges data with the field devices within a specified message cycle. All measured values and set point values required to control the system as well as the device status data are transmitted. When compared with conventional techniques, the cyclic communication of the Class-1 master assumes tasks of the analog 4 to 20 mA standardized signals and additionally enables the bidirectional exchange of data.
•
Master which supports acyclic data communication (DPV1) is normally referred to as Class-II Masters. Class-II masters (DPM2) are used for operation and monitoring purposes and during start-up. The associated exchange of data takes place, if required. Therefore, class-II masters require acyclic communication services exclusively.

2. User Management 2.1
Overview of FDM role-based User Management FDM provides a robust role-based user management. There are two user verification mechanisms called FDM Classic Server Security and Windows Security. FDM supports adding an existing Windows user group to FDM and assigning specific roles to it.
FDM Classic Server Security FDM user management allows creation of users with in-built authentication mechanism called FDM Classic Server Security. The user credentials such as user information, password, and so on are stored in the FDM Server Database. At the time of login, the user credentials provided by the user are authenticated by the FDM Server. These users cannot use the Single Sign On feature.
Windows Security If the Windows Security option is selected, FDM does not maintain the password information in its database. During login, FDM uses Windows security to authenticate the user. FDM also supports the Windows groups as this simplifies the task of associating a large number of users to a specific role in FDM. The Single Sign On feature is supported for all the users who choose Windows Security. FDM supports Windows security in: •
A Windows work group.
•
A Windows domain.
Support for Windows Groups FDM supports adding an existing Windows user group to FDM and assigning specific roles to it. The FDM Group Manager is used for managing FDM groups. Instead of associating one user to a specific FDM role, an administrator can create a Windows group and associate it with a specific role in FDM. This provides the flexibility to the administrator to associate any number of windows users to that group. After a group is associated with a role, all the users associated with that group inherit the group’s privileges. FDM creates the following default groups during installation. •
R430 May 2012
FDM Administrators – User added to this group has all the privileges of the FDM administrator role.
Field Device Manager - R430 User's Guide Honeywell
53
2. User Management 2.1. Overview of FDM role-based User Management
•
FDM Supervisors – User added to this group has all the privileges of the FDM supervisor role.
•
FDM Engineers – User added to this group has all the privileges of the FDM engineer role.
•
FDM Operators – User added to this group has all the privileges of the FDM operator role.
•
FDM Access Group – This group is created on all the systems where FDM components are installed. FDM Access Group is not associated with any of the FDM roles. This group is associated with certain Windows privileges which are needed to start FDM Client. Any FDM Windows user who wants to start FDM Client must belong to this group.
The user can add new Windows groups in FDM. To manage groups in FDM, refer to section Managing groups.
Roles and Privileges FDM provides robust role-based user management. FDM has a set of privileges that you can possess, and these privileges are grouped to form the roles. A role is a set of privileges with a common name. A user or a group can get the privileges by associating to one of the roles. FDM has the following predefined roles. •
Administrator
•
Engineer
•
Supervisor
•
Operator
In addition to these roles, users can create their own roles based on organization needs. You can also assign additional privileges to the predefined roles. However, you cannot remove the default privileges associated with the predefined roles.
Administrator access privileges Administrators have full access and privileges to all the functions of FDM. They are mainly responsible for managing users, processing user requests, and updating user data.

3. Network configuration 3.1
Overview Based on the field devices and interface used for communication with FDM, you need to identify and configure the appropriate network. FDM supports the following types of network using FDM Server Management Tool. •
RS-232 HART Modem: FDM uses the RS-232 HART Modem to communicate with HART devices using the serial port. You need to configure FDM to send and receive data through the HART communication port.
•
Honeywell HART DE Modem: The Honeywell HART DE Modem provides the network communication interface to HART devices. This modem supports both, HART protocol and Honeywell Proprietary DE (Digital Enhanced) protocol.
•
RS-485 HART Multiplexer: Using the RS- 485 HART Multiplexer, FDM can communicate to multiple HART devices in the field. Multiplexers transmit signals over a single communication line. HART Multiplexers can be used for communicating with multiple HART devices, enabling remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of those devices. A single HART Multiplexer network can have thirty-two multiplexers and is connected to many devices.
•
Honeywell Experion PKS: Honeywell Experion PKS network in server management tool helps you to configure, monitor and perform device specific operations on HART/FF devices connected to Experion system. Following are the options that exist for configuring a network against Honeywell Experion PKS.

4. FDM Operations 4.4. FDM device tags
4.4
FDM device tags Overview of FDM Tags FDM provides each device a unique name to identify the device, which appears adjacent to the device icon in the Network View tree. When you browse a network (except for EPKS) for the first time, the devices are listed under network view with the HART tags. After you load a device, the tag name of the device appears in the Tag field in the right pane. ATTENTION •
Ensure that length of the device tag is not more than 16 characters and does not contain any special characters or spaces.
•
HART tags appear as FDM tags for devices connected through RS-485 Multiplexer.
•
The tags are derived from Control Builder for devices connected through Experion.
Device tag generation for RS-485 Multiplexer and Modem networks When the devices are connected through RS-485 Multiplexer and modem networks and if you perform build network for the first time, then the device tag for HART 5, HART 6 and HART 7 devices appears as HART Tag and HART Long Tag respectively. If the device does not have a tag, then the device tag appears as InvalidTag in the network view. In addition, if there is more than one such device with blank tags, they are detected as InvalidTags appended by conflict tag and a number. After the network browse is complete for the first time and all the tags are detected with HART tags, even if you change the HART tag field in the device, it is not reflected in the network view and vice versa. When you rename the tags in the network view, the tag name is changed and it is saved in the FDM database. But, the HART tag name is not changed in the device. To change the Tag name in the device you must open the device configuration form and then rename it in the Tag field.
Device tag generation for Experion networks When the devices are connected through Experion network, the alias name appears instead of Network Interface name in the Network View. For an Experion network, a device tag is the same tag as shown in Experion system.

4 FDM Operations 4.4 FDM device tags
From an Experion network, if a device is moved to any other network (Example RS-232 HART Modem), the tag of this device in the Network View displays as Experion tag name. You can rename the tags using Rename option. From a Mux network, if a device is moved to Experion network, the tag of this device in the Network View displays as Experion tag name. ATTENTION •
Renaming of HART devices connected to the Experion interface can only be done using the Control Builder. But, when a mux connected device is being monitored from the Experion system, FDM does not allow you to rename that particular device.
•
If the Device Configuration page is open, FDM does not allow you to rename the device.
Device tag generation for COMM DTM Interface When the devices are connected through COMM DTM Interface, the tag name appears in the Network View. FDM generates automatically the tag for COMM DTM Interface. This is applicable for HART and PROFIBUS devices: •
If the detected device is HART and it does not have a DTM or you do not select a DTM, then the device tag depends on the HART tag of the device. This device is added to the network tree since it can be loaded with DD.
•
If the detected device is PROFIBUS and it does not have a DTM or you do not select a DTM, this device is not added to the network tree.
When you rename the tags in the network view through Rename option, the tag name is changed and it is saved in the FDM database. TIP Besides FDM Client, you may also rename devices connected to COMM DTM network from the corresponding FDT Comm Console to which these devices are belong to.

4. FDM Operations 4.4. FDM device tags
Device tag generation for Safety networks FDM Client Network View displays the similar tags that are present in Safety Builder which are exported from Safety Builder and imported to FDM as SB Export File. Tags under Safety network cannot be renamed. When devices connected to Safety network are moved to other network, based on the network type, the tag might be retained in the new network. Example, From Safety network, if a device is moved to Multiplexer network, the device would appear with the same tag. And also, if a device is moved from Safety network to Experion network, the device would appear with the tag from the Experion system. ATTENTION During build network of Safety network, any device tag of Safety network has conflict with the device tag of existing network (For example, Multiplexer network), Safety network tag is appended with tag conflict. Then, the following message displays in the Warning tab in FDM Client System Notifications pane.
To resolve the tag conflict, rename the device connected to Multiplexer network and then rebuild the network at IOTA level corresponding to the device where conflict is observed.

Feature
Description The range is from one to 60 minutes. You can also configure device health for the selected devices that are connected to the FDT network. For more information, refer to section Customizing the FDT health scan settings.
ATTENTION Very frequent device health scan on FDT network can causes the Comm/Gateway/IO DTMs state to become non-responsive and hindering the basic FDT operations like network scan, DTM configuration and so on. This behaviour might worsen if large number of devices are connected. Hence it is recommended to choose appropriate health scan interval based on the size of the network. Bigger the network, greater must be the health scan interval for FDT network. Experion Event Journal Logging

Description
ATTENTION The device lock options are recommended for FDM systems that are fully commissioned. Since, during commissioning, devices need to be modified extensively, it is recommended to turn off the device lock settings during this phase. a)
Select the Lock all newly discovered devices by default check box to lock newly discovered devices on the network automatically. This affects the devices that are discovered using dynamic discovery or if you browse an existing network again. Even after enabling this setting, all the devices that were already discovered in the network retain their existing lock status.
b)
Select the Automatically lock devices after ____ Minutes check box to automatically lock an explicitly unlocked device after a specified time period. This feature does not affect the devices that were explicitly unlocked before this option was enabled. Additionally, when this feature is enabled, if the device configuration page of the device is closed, then device is automatically locked. If this option is enabled, a device might be automatically locked in the middle of device configuration or during method execution. Hence, FDM allows you to extend the automatic lock by displaying reminder message as“Device auto lock imminent. Click here to extend” in the Device configuration page before 5 minutes to timeout. Click this message to extend the autolock timeout interval. Device autolock interval must be in the range of 30 to 120 minutes.
ATTENTION When the device autolock feature is enabled, the devices under network are locked automatically for security in the following scenarios.
132
•
If the unlocked devices are disconnected.
•
If the RCI on which the device is connected, is stopped.
•
If the network on which the device is connected is rebrowsed.

Building networks Overview After configuring the network, you must establish the connection with the network and detect devices connected to the network. This process of detecting devices connected to the configured networks is known as building a network. All devices must be commissioned to appear in FDM Network View. For example, FF devices are detected when you configure Honeywell Experion PKS in FDM Server Management Tool and Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) in Control Builder to which FF devices are connected. ATTENTION
R430 May 2012
•
Before trying to connect to the devices using FDM, ensure that you establish the physical connection between the device and the required network communication interfaces (RS-232 HART Modem, RS-485 Multiplexer, Honeywell HART DE Modem, Honeywell Experion PKS, Safety Network with Universal Safe Modules, or COMM DTM Interface).
•
During build network, if you try to perform multiple operations, FDM system becomes slow.
•
You cannot perform build network, if devices connected to the same network are in use.
•
If you perform build network from cache, a message appears displaying Build network from cache completed in the status bar. This message appears only when you stop FDM Server, open a new FDM Client (connecting to new instance of FDM Server), and perform build network from the cache.
•
If you perform build network for a device that is active under mux monitoring in Control Builder, a message appears displaying Network build is aborted in the status bar.

Configuring PROFIBUS masters Class-II masters (DPM2) are used for operation and monitoring purposes and during the start-up. The associated exchange of data takes place if required. Therefore, class-II masters require acyclic communication services exclusively. Following are the two scenarios in which a Class-II master is used. •
In first scenario, the Class-I master cannot provide the data into the Asset management system. In this case, the setup needs both Class-I and Class-II masters in order to obtain the data into DCS and also in Asset management system.
•
In second scenario, the Class-I master itself acts as both Class-I and Class-II and provides data into DCS and also Asset management system.
Configuration with both Class-I and Class-II Master Class-I masters which do not have communication DTMs cannot provide the data into Asset management tools like FDM. In this case, in order to obtain data into FDM, you must use both Class-I and Class-II masters.

4. FDM Operations 4.8. Building networks
When you are using both Class-I and Class-II masters, during configuration of Class-II master in FDM, the configuration parameters must be same as that of Class-I master. This scenario can be better explained by taking the example of Woodhead SST-PFBCLX module (PBIM) multi-dropped with Softing’s FG100. Woodhead SST-PFB-CLX module (PBIM) is a Class-I Master which does not have a communication DTM and Softing’s FG100 is a Class-II master which has communication DTM.

4 FDM Operations 4.8 Building networks
Building Safety networks You can build safety network in the following ways. •
If Standalone Safety Network is configured, then you can perform build network at network level, SM controller level, and IOTA (Universal Safe Modules) level.
•
If Experion integrated Safety Network is configured, then you can perform build network at network level and at group level (Process and Safety network level). And also, you can perform build network at SM controller level, IOTA (Universal Safe Modules) level.
When you export configuration file from Safety Builder, there is an element called controller version in XML file. This controller version should exactly match with version in the actual firmware of the controller. If they do not match, FDM does not perform build network operation and displays the configuration mismatch error message in the Error tab as follows.
To resolve this issue, you need to generate the new SB Export file with proper configuration information and update in FDM. Then, perform the build network.

Managing DDs Every manufacturer of devices creates a Device Description (DD) file for each model or type of device that they make. The DD file contains device-specific information that is used for interpreting the responses received from the device. You can add and delete DD file from the client.
Adding a DD file If you do not have a DD for a given device, you can add DD to the DD library by using the Add DD File option. When you add a DD, the server automatically generates the corresponding template for the DD. This template is published to all the open clients. ATTENTION Only users assigned with the privileges associated with the Administrator role can add/delete a template or synchronize data.
To add any new DD file from the client to the server, perform the following steps. Step 1
Action Choose Library > Add DD File from the FDM Client. The Select a DD file dialog box appears.

4 FDM Operations 4.14 Offline configuration
4.14 Offline configuration Overview The Offline Configuration feature enables you to configure a set of device parameters without the need for a device to be available physically. In other words, it enables you to create a configuration for a device, without the device being available online. The Offline View > Offline Configuration tab enables you to create an offline configuration for a device. The offline configuration can be downloaded to the device by right-clicking a device in the Online View > Network View. A user can create three types of Offline Configurations which are as follows: •
DD offline configurations – This enables you to create a DD offline configuration that is specific to a Device Type. You can use this offline configuration only for devices belonging to the specific Device Type.
•
Generic DD offline configurations – This enables you to create a DD offline configuration that contains a set of standard parameters that are applicable to all Device Types. Hence, you can use a generic DD offline configuration to configure devices of any Device Type.
•
DTM offline configurations – This enables you to create an offline configuration for DTM. You can use this offline configuration only for the devices for which load setting is Load Using DTM. ATTENTION •
Offline Configuration feature is not supported for FF devices.
•
Though you can create a DD offline configuration for a device as described below, it is recommended to use an offline configuration of a device by using Save as Offline template feature. For more information, refer to section Saving an Online Configuration as an Offline Configuration using DD. An offline configuration thus saved is more accurate in terms of reflecting proper configuration of device and the representative values.
When creating an offline configuration for the first time, you have to explicitly select the Manufacturer, Device Type and Device Revision for the configuration, from the respective list boxes in the Create Configuration form. However, if you are creating another offline configuration for the same Manufacturer and/or Device Type and/or Device Revision, you can browse through the Offline Configurations tree, right-click and choose the Create Configuration option, either at the Manufacturer level, the Device R430 May 2012

ATTENTION •
Some writeable parameters are not directly exposed through the menu structure of a device, and can be edited only through a method. But they often are critical in configuring the device and hence are exposed in offline configuration. Sometimes such parameters may not always succeed in a download. It is advised to ensure the value of such parameters to be same as that in the device.
•
A Device Description file may contain variables whose values have an impact on other variable(s). In FDM, the former is referred to as Dominant variable and the latter as Dependant variable(s). An example is the dependency of sensor range value on the sensor type. Hence, sensor type can be referred to as a Dominant variable.
•
When you edit a dominant editable variable, FDM automatically updates the corresponding values for the dependant variables.
•
Read only parameters which are not editable in the device but have other editable parameters that depend on its value.
When you are editing parameters, the pre/post edit actions and warnings appear if they are defined in the DD. You must respond to those actions. These actions and warning varies from one variable to another. Following icons are used for indicating different states of the parameters during an offline configuration.
indicates Invalid parameters. – These parameters are not valid parameters as per the current configuration. indicates Valid parameters – These parameters are valid as per the current configuration and the writable parameter can be downloaded to the device. indicates Changed parameters – When a valid parameter is edited any other parameter(s) which are dependent on it must have the icon changed to green. This indicates that the value of these parameters needs to be verified and probably downloaded. 5

4. FDM Operations 4.22. Device access control
4.22 Device access control Overview Device lock is a feature used for locking devices from being accessed by multiple users. When a device loaded with DD is locked, the device is in read-only mode. This means that the user can view the device configuration but cannot modify it. When a device loaded with DTM is locked, you cannot open the device configuration page.
Explicit locking FDM allows you to lock or unlock a device manually, when required. When device is explicitly locked, users cannot modify the device configuration, not even the user who locked it. To lock the device, perform the following steps. Step
Action
1
Select the device tag from the Online View > Network View tree.
2
Right-click the device and then click Lock. The lock icon appears for the device in the Network View as follows:

The lock status can also be viewed by selecting QuickView from the context menu of the device. If you want to lock all devices simultaneously, right-click the network and then click Lock All. If the Prompt User for Device Unlock Password feature is enabled, then you are prompted to enter the password.
Implicit Locking Implicit locking occurs in the following three ways. ATTENTION
•
312
•
Implicit locking is not available for FF devices.
•
Implicit lock cannot be removed by performing an explicit unlock on the device and the system continues to display the Implicit lock icon on the upper-right corner of the window.
FDM tool provides implicit access locking of device when more than one user accesses the same device concurrently. When the first user accesses the device, the device is locked for all subsequent users, and are provided read-only access. In addition, there is a lock icon displayed the upper-right corner of the device configuration page to indicate that another user has already opened the selected device.

And also, to see the lock status, right-click the device and then click QuickView from the shortcut menu. When locked, you can only view the device data, but cannot edit them. 3
When User A closes the device, a notification message appears to User B of the device in Notifications pane under Information tab. This indicates that the User B can edit the device data.
ATTENTION If there are more than two users trying to access the device, the access to the device is granted in the order in which the users load the device. For instance, if three users A, B and C try to load the device one after another, the device is locked for B and C when A loads the device. When A unloads the device, the access is granted to B and when B unloads the device, the access is granted to C. •
Process Lock When devices are connected through Experion, devices that are in process are implicitly locked. ATTENTION •
When FDM is connected to the field devices through the Experion interface through the PM HART IO or the Series C I/O module, devices that are in process are locked by default. To edit any device parameter or run a method, you need to inactivate the device.
•
When FDM is connected to field devices through the Experion interface through the 1756 HART IO module, the channel mode needs to be changed to ‘OFF CONTROL’.
•
Process locked devices can also be unlocked by enabling the setting “Allow Write Access for Process Active Devices”.
Safety Lock is a lock initiated by Safety System to prohibit any configuration of Safety Devices from FDM. Safety Lock/Unlock happens at Safety Builder and the device lock state is modified accordingly in FDM Network View for that device. And also, to see the lock status, right-click the device and then click QuickView from the shortcut menu.

ATTENTION Devices connected to SM controllers have a safety lock by default. You can load those devices in read-only mode only with the DD. You cannot open the device configuration pages with DTM for safety locked devices. •
FHM Lock: when a device is in use byFDM HART Multiplexer, the device is locked and not available for use elsewhere in FDM. This is termed as an FHM lock in FDM. Ensure to consider the following while using FHM. −
When the device is explicitly locked, it cannot be used with FHM.
−
When a device is used by one instance of FHM it cannot be used by FHM on another client.
−
When a device has an exclusive lock on it, only the FHM on the client that has received exclusive access can use it.
Exclusive access FDM provides the exclusive read/write access to the device which is unlocked in one FDM Client. However, in multi-client scenarios, the same device remains exclusive locked in other clients. The following is the example scenario for Exclusive Locking when two clients are connected to single FDM Server. Step
Action
1

5. FDM Station Maintenance view 5.1
Overview FDM Device Configuration pages are integrated into Experion Flex Station. This enables the use of the Experion Flex Station for maintenance. The FDM window is embedded with the HART/FF device detail display pages and can be used for viewing detailed information of the devices. It helps to make online changes (if privileges are available) and perform diagnostics as supported by the HART/FF devices. This view shows the EDDL/DTM based device window, which is similar to the device configuration window displayed in the FDM Client. The FDM embedded detail display page, within the Experion Flex Station is to be used only for Flex Station maintenance. Do not use it on Experion Flex Station used for plant operations. These detailed displays are not supported on Experion Console Stations. In the Maintenance View of Station, you can view the HART/FF devices connected to one of the following interfaces.

•
1756 HART I/O
•
PMIO
•
Series C I/O
•

5.3
A relationship between the FDM Server and Experion server is established using the configuration file.
Configuring relationship between Experion Server and FDM Server To enable Maintenance view to open a specified device, you must know the name of the FDM Server on which the Experion server is configured. To view a device connected to a particular Experion server, it must be configured in the Server management tool of an FDM Server. FDM Server and Experion server relationship must be configured in a file so that Maintenance view can be automatically connected to the device when it is opened in Experion Station. To configure the relationship perform the following steps. Step
Action
1
Choose Start > Run.
2
In the Open box, type notepad and then click the OK button.

Action To configure relationship between FDM Server fdmsvr1 to Experion server expsvrA, modify the contents in the default file as follows:
EXPSVRA FDMSVR1 Replace DUMMYEPKSSERVER by the name of the actual Experion server, expsvrA and DUMMYFDMSERVER by the name of the FDM Server, fdmsvr1.
ATTENTION •
Ensure that you enter the names in capital letters. For example, expsvrA and fdmsvr1 have to be entered as EXPSVRA and FDMSVR1 respectively.
•
The text between and constitutes one FDM Server – Experion server relationship.
•
Redundant Experion servers should have two entries in the configuration file, one for the primary and one for the secondary. The fdmServer name remains the same for both entries though. For example: < fdmExperionServerCache > EPKSSERVERA FDMSERVER EPKSSERVERB
